[Verse 1]
I woke up with grease on my hands
A sketchbook full of second chances
Copper wire and a crooked plan
Built a pulse from a broken fan
I take the parts they throw away
And make them move another way
A bent-up nail, a jar, a spring
Baby, that’s how I build a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wait for a perfect sign
I make the spark from the scrap in line
When the floor drops out, I don’t fold
I turn the rubble into gold
[Chorus]
Glass and gears, I’m alive
I can make a dream survive
Glass and gears, hear me now
I build it up, I build it proud
Glass and gears, hands in the flame
I put my name inside the frame
If the world breaks, I rebuild
I was made to make it real
[Verse 2]
My bench is covered in rain-stained notes
Half-said prayers and paper boats
Every screw got a story to tell
Every failure taught me well
I heard “can’t” and I heard “try”
I kept that fire in my eye
One more latch, one more spin
Watch that door swing open again
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wait for a perfect sign
I make the spark from the scrap in line
When the floor drops out, I don’t fold
I turn the rubble into gold
[Chorus]
Glass and gears, I’m alive
I can make a dream survive
Glass and gears, hear me now
I build it up, I build it proud
Glass and gears, hands in the flame
I put my name inside the frame
If the world breaks, I rebuild
I was made to make it real
[Bridge]
Let the doubts fall off
Let the rough edges show
Every wild new shape
Starts with “I don’t know”
Now the whole room glows
When the first switch flips
From a pile of parts
To a pulse in my fists
[Final Chorus]
Glass and gears, I’m alive
I can make a dream survive
Glass and gears, hear me now
I build it up, I build it proud
Glass and gears, hands in the flame
I put my name inside the frame
If the world breaks, I rebuild
I was made to make it real
